negro instruction until 8 O'Clock last night
and can not reach Caney creek before noon
today. Capt Reichard took twenty men
with him, with a large quantity OF
ammunition, another company Is held in
reserve here awaiting further orders from
the government. Alarming reports which
could not be traced to a.reliable source
were in circulation last night as
TO the seriousness of the conflict which
took place Yesterday morning between the
negroes and Sheriff Hickeys posse Moth
ing positively was known here up 10 late
hour about the fight or how many were
killed but it is reported that several negroes
were Killed. BTazoria and Matagorda
counties are largely populated by negroes
and many bloody race battles have been
fought in both counties during the past ten
years, especially during election seasons.
Caney creek settlement, where the present
trouble originated. is IN the extreme south
eastern corner Of Matagorda county,
twenty five miles west of Columbia, the
